Everyone received a mailing about the upcoming CWA national convention in June- this mailing should have arrived at your house as a postcard last week. Nominations to be a delegate are still open, with the closing of the process occurring at the end of the day Thursday.
Next Tuesday, May 20 at noon we will have voting for UTC members at Brock hall, room 303.

Ok, hope that headline got your attention!
This Friday, May 16 from 5:30- 7 pm and Saturday, May 17 from 10-3 we will be having an organizing school on how we get more UT employees to join UCW-CWA. This is a very good training that helps guides us through steps we can take to get more people in our organization.
Many of you have been through this training- we need more of us to have gone through it, so please consider signing up for it. And if these times don’t work for you but you would be interested in future trainings, please let me know.
